I've connected with a new person on 17 Nov, and started chatting with him since 22 Nov. I first noticed how observant he was when he spotted the link, and it didn't turn him off.
We arranged to meet on 7 Dec for the first time, and I noted that he felt awkward, yet we still continued the conversation and went off for dessert. At the cafe, what struck me as wholesome was when he started folding paper cranes using the receipt. I know it's weird, but it was effing cute. I helped him, and somehow I got a peek into what teamwork between us would be like.
It felt like I could stand on my own feet to support him, yet he was there to take the lead when necessary.
We also talked about my lack of 2nd language, and he taught me kindly without losing his patience. I got a glimpse into his personality just like that. He had a really cute smile.
We arranged for the second date for xlb, and that's when I noted how he was very considerate. We talked about his favorite soccer, and went for dessert. This time, we challenged ourselves to fold two paper cranes and two frogs.
3rd date, my friend had extra tickets for an exhibition which she couldn't go. She gave them to us, and we went. I scraped my heels, and he helped to paste the plasters for me. We went window shopping and smelt scents. I realised that our taste in scents are very similar. I was very happy about it. He later told me much later on that I've shown him my smexy side and that I was very pretty that day.
The 4th date was when the spark between us rocketed so high. The chemistry between us felt unreal. This time, I told him that we could do whatever he wanted, and he chose fishes and plants. He wanted to purchase some plants for the aquarium he owned, so we visited a small shop that he frequented. It was really memorable, being surrounded by the spectrum of colors. We then visited the fish farm near his home and pointed out more fishes. He threw his arm around my shoulder for a brief moment, and I was stunned by his gesture.
In the shuttle bus, we passed by the cemetery and he picked up my emotions. He asked me what happened and I told him about the suicide of my very close friend. I wasn't expecting him to say much and he didn't, but he offered a bit of a perspective that I agreed with him.
We went for impromptu bowling, and we laughed a lot at my shitty skills. He tried to hype me up, but to no avail. He sent me home, and we chatted till 1am. He told me about his background, and all I thought was that it was very similar to my ex, but in a better place.
5th date, we went to the beach. He helped to buy takeaway food while I was late. We sat, I took out my umbrella, and we had a htht talk again about goals. I had a goal about self reliance, and he asked me was it because I'm very dependent and I said no. It was more of financial resources as I needed to support myself. He also had that goal in mind, but it was different. He wanted no authority to influence him. We then guessed about each other's life purposes, and I guessed that he wanted to be a pillar of support in his loved ones lives. He looked at me, and said "I've never thought about it that way."
I told him more things that I regretted, and he listened. On the way back, he held my hands and I felt some butterflies. When he sent me home that night, he hugged and kissed my hair, and said "Don't worry about what you told me this afternoon, it doesn't change anything for me." I was very touched. Nobody had treated me so gently like this person.
6th date; we sat at the cafe that I frequented and he loved the matcha latte. I taught him to play a game. We then went for more window shopping (despite planning to go for concerts initially), and caught a late movie. I gave in to my desire to cling to him for warmth (and touch). He behaved appropriately, and gave me a reassuring squeeze on the hand. God, this man is such a dream, and sexy as hell.
Whenever I see him, I just wanted to give him all my love, and show him that he deserves it. He has been through a lot of bad stuffs, and I feel that I care a lot about him. He makes me want to keep him happy (his smile, his consideration).
He told me on text that my personality was his type: laidback, kind hearted, conscientious and open minded. I think I did struck off his checklist for looks as well, but I just cannot stand the sight of myself, looking oily and all. I rly hope to take a picture with him one day, but only when I'm more comfortable with myself.
We took a personality quiz, and our core identity is very similar, and love as well. It's crazy how things progresses so well at this point. He's so similar to me that we can relate and understand each other quite well. He's supportive of what I want to do, but at the same time I want to stay so that I can still be with him. But I'd want to continue to improve myself to be a better partner for him.
He deserves my adoration and love (at this point). I needed emotional intimacy, and he's able to give that to me.
He's cute, empathetic, and considerate. I'd love to see how we go from hereon.
